Too bad they're only the 18" copies and not the REAL 19's.

Nah screw that idea. Just need a Tickford Front and back lip and it will finish it off nicely! :

I was going to load these pics on to photobucket, but it seems to be down. So here is a link to a TS50 I found a little while ago on E-Bay. It has the 19" GTP rims. I don't think it suits the TS body kit. Maybe if the car was lowered. I was thinking about buying the copies for my car. These are my favourite rims. In 19's

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ford-T3-TS50-...QQcmdZViewItem

I beleive it was actually a members car from these forums.

This car on carsales is overpriced. $17,000 for a forte with 109,000 clicks is way over priced. Nice car, but it would be better priced around $8,000. I think thats the most it would be worth

That is a crazy price for a forte. If anyone is going to pay 17,500 for that I'll offer them my Fairmont for 17,250

With that one, it looks like its trying to be a BF GT, but carnt make it.
Defiently not a good look on the TS50, IMO.

I dont mind the white AU without the body kit. Just clean and debadged is the way to go IMHO. The black TS50 looks good, but as mentioned, is trying to look too much like a GT.

well just to stir things up a little bit, if you had never seen those wheels before, do you still think it looks like its trying to be a BF GT?

I was thinking about those rims for my car. But I'm not so sure they would look any good. Its a good guide for how my car would look, minus the TS front Bar

The white ones unreal. Nice and clean. Doesnt need any kit on it. Looks real good with the rims. As for the TS50. I rkn those rims suit perfectly. I really like them both. What kinda springs you rkn were chuckd on the white one? SLs?

Spokes are too chunky and don't really suit, just the black one seem to get away partly with it for some reason.
